	~~Special Rules~~		The Amphisbaena is a rare creature originally found only in the darkest jungles of Lustria, where strange energies welled up from beneath the ground. It looks like a normal snake, but instead of its body ending in a tail, it sprouts a second head. When discovered by Tilean explorers in the early sixteenth century, they brought the creature back as a symbol of their excellence and as an example of the wonders found in the New World. However, on the way back to Tilea, the creature multiplied, and the new creatures slipped free from their cages. The Amphisbaena attacked the crew and killed everyone on board, causing the ship to smash against the rocks near Sartosa. Since then, these creatures spread throughout Tilea and the Border Princes, even creeping into the southern territory of the Empire. Few have had the bad fortune to see one of these creatures, but it’s well known that an encounter with the Amphisbaena spells one’s doom.

An amphisbaena is a very large snake with a head at both ends. In combat, the creature can make a bite attack in any two directions at once, as well as being able to wrap itself around its victim (this counts as a constriction attack) and possibly pinning him or her. An amphisbaena can survive with only one head.

Like all snakes, amphisbaena have poor eyesight, but are able to sense warm-blooded creatures accurately within twenty yards. Lanterns or torches will confuse them, reducing their I by D6 x 10 for that round.

Physique
A giant snake, with a head at either end. An amphisbaena can reach over twenty feet long and even a small one would be over ten feet.

Alignment
Neutral.

Psychological Traits
Amphisbaenae fear fire, but otherwise they are immune to all psychology rules. They cause fear in living creatures under ten feet tall.

Special Rules
Amphisbaenae may bite with either end or both heads or may constrict. Characters hit by a constriction attack must check to see whether their arms are free or not and can only escape either by making a test against S x 10 or by killing the creature. Bite attacks are venomous and characters failing a Poison test (T x 10) will die in 2D6 rounds.
